Driven: 2010 Ferrari California

Driven: 2010 Ferrari California
2010 Ferrari California - Ferrari Convertible Sports Car Review - Automobile Magazine

That's a rarity even for automotive journalists, and it's an honor I don't take lightly. Today's drive of the California marked a special occasion, since this was not just the only Ferrari I haven't driven, it's also an all-new kind of Ferrari.
